The best football posts from social media over the past week.
Frank Ilett, the Man Utd fan who won’t cut his hair until the team win five games in a row, has had to reset the counter to zero after the Red Devils’ three-match winning run was ended by Nottingham Forest.

But Scottish football was the real show stealer this week after Brendan Rodgers resigned as Celtic manager. Martin O’Neill has been named the interim boss, and it comes during the same week that Rangers replaced Russell Martin.

Absolutely mental stuff. No way anything else this week in Scottish football could top tha-
Aberdeen hire man who ‘died’ on the pitch, stole a penguin, and was jailed for match-fixing in Singapore, as their new sporting director. https://t.co/nvSQaNwIuN

In summary:
Celtic manager resigns, the club chief publicly savages him, the stand-in manager says Hearts can win the league, while Aberdeen appoint a penguin-stealing sports director who spent time in jail & modelled for Armani. That's enough for today. You'll never beat Scottish football.

Given all that, this Dundee fan’s one-man protest feels wholesome.

I could not agree more.
It doesn't get said often enough but TNT's decision to keep the scoreboard in the bottom left of the screen, rather than the never-gets-in-the-way-of-anything-natural-top-left position is an absolute scandal and people should go to prison for it.
